With COVID-19 disrupting every aspect of business, what sets good businesses apart from great businesses is how one rises to the occasion in times of crisis such as the one presented by COVID-19.

As companies are forced to shut down some branches, rotate staff with some staff working from home, Prudential Bank is operating without hustle as its suite of products and services continue to serve clients effortlessly irrespective of their location. With technology as the backbone, these products are easily accessible via mobile phones and other tech devices.

The bank has also offered relief to customers including waivers on ATM transactions, GhIPSS Instant Pay (GIP) and free account-to-mobile-wallet transfers. To create more convenience for customers, the Bank hasincreased the daily transaction limit on cashWise ATM Cards, netWise Internet Banking and mobiWise Mobile Banking Services.

John K. Addo, the bank’s managing director noted that COVID-19 is having a profound impact on individuals, businesses and the economy with consequent job losses and a decline in business activities.

“The impact of this pandemic has fast tracked the widespread adoption of various digital channels by most businesses and individuals. Prudential Bank is no exception and as an indigenous Ghanaian bank, it strives to assist its customers to get back on their feet whilst ensuring that all safety protocols on COVID-19 are adhered to in the bank’s service delivery channels,” he said.

To him, these interventions are aimed at providing relief not just to those customers who are worst hit, but to each and every one of its existing and potential clients.
